We just learnt that one of our friends has cancer.
Certainly it sadden us but this seems too common
and why is it so?
The fact is Cancer presents a threat in our life.
This is very real
A book written by Professor Richard Beliveau and Dr Denis Ginger on
“foods to fight cancer” have the following findings:

Statistic shows that one out of three people is affected
by cancer before the age of 75
This represents 12 per cent of all reported deaths on
Earth.

However, fear not, there is hope.
People fear cancer and also believe that there is little
they can do to prevent it. They put developing cancer
down to hereditary factors or sheer bad luck.
However, scientific research shows that this is not the
case, and that lifestyle factors such as diet can play a
major role in preventing cancer
Do you know, one third of all cancers are linked to poor
eating habits?
The choice is
yours

Statistic :
30% of Cancer patients are smokers, if you are a non smoker, then risk of
cancer will be reduced by 30%
15% of Cancer patients are due to hereditary, if your family line does not
have any cancer history, then risk of cancer is further reduced by 15%.
Another 30% of Cancer patients are due to poor dietary habits. So it
depends on you, you can further reduce the risk of cancer by another 30%
by having good dietary habit. The choice is yours.
Poor Dietary risk cancer

Lower risk

Higher risk

Generally, data has shown that individuals consuming fewest
fruits and vegetables have twice the chance of developing
certain cancers, suggest that these dietary shortcomings could
play a role in the higher cancer rates now afflicting the West.
What is Cancer ?
• Cancer is a disease of the cell. Our human
beings is made up of 60,000 billion cells.
• The growth of cancer takes a long time over
many years or decades. A cancerous tumor
is not an instant phenomenon, it is a result of
a long process that take several years to
form.
• The slowness in the growth gives us the
opportunity to intervene to block the rebel
cell from maturing into a cancer cell.
Preventing Cancer Growth
Common method is by destroying the cancerous tumor by
1) Surgery, 2) Radiotherapy and 3) Chemotherapy ( Usually done
together ).
Limitations
•
Surgery – cannot eliminate all cancerous cells.
•
Radiotherapy ( X rays) – radiation will kill some of the normal
cells too.
•
Chemotherapy by medication or drugs to reach cancerous cells –
many side effects including hair loss or drop in immune cell, organs
complication.
4) Anti-Angiogenesis Metronomic is a new approaches by attacking
the tumor’s blood supply thus depriving it food. But antiAngiogenesis Metronomic has to be a continuous process.
The good news is that a significant quantities of some AntiAngiogenesis Metronomic molecules are present in fruits and
vegetables.

Eating to Prevent Cancer
• While it is true that the tumors that forms spontaneously in our
bodies generally remain microscopic in size, posing no danger
to health, it is also true that all too often these tumors do not
grow and develop into lethal end stage cancel. However, if it
does grow, we will be at risk of developing cancer.
• Anticancer molecules present in fruits and vegetables fight
cancers at the source, before it can reach maturity. Anticancer
molecules present in food keeps them from progressing to an
advanced stage of lethality.
• In this way, we should try to think of cancer as a chronic
disease, one that can be controlled on a daily basis with the
help of foods rich in anticancer compounds.
• Among the many anticancer compound present in fruits and
vegetables, phytochemicals are the most important.
Anticancer compound present in fruits and
vegetables, phytochemicals are the most important
Anticancer compound present in fruits and vegetables,
phytochemicals block carcinogen action, block the
promotion and progression of cancer cells
Cabbage
• Cabbage family ( Cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower,
Brussels sprouts ) have an almost magical ability to
fight against the development of cancerous cells in
the body. Eaten regularly, they are an easy way to
help to prevent cancer.
• Broccoli is by far the best source of sulphorahane
( one of the phythochemical compounds )
• Rapid or light cooking techniques, such as steaming
or stir-frying in a wok, are simple and effective ways
to maximize the quantity of anticancer molecules.
Over cooking reduces the effectiveness of the
anticancer molecules.
Garlic and Onions
• Used for more than 2000 years before Christ, Garlic
and Onions represent one of the best documented
examples of the role of plants in the treatment of
diseases and maintenance of good health.
• The molecules found in garlic and onions are also
capable of slowing down the propagation of tumors
by interfering with the growth processes in cancer
cells, leading to cell death by apoptosis.
• Freshly crushed garlic is by far the best source of
anticancer compounds and should be preferred over
supplements (Drug).
Soya
• Soya Beans, Soya sauce, Tofu has Isoflavones, the
anticancer compounds present in soya, possesses a
chemical structure similar to that of sex hormones
and may thus interfere with the development of
cancers caused by high levels of these hormones in
the bloodstream.
• Soya plays an important role in the prevention of
breast and prostate cancer.
• Studies has shown that taking soya at an early age
for woman decreases the incidence of breast cancer.
Japanese Green Tea
• Green tea is an exceptional source of powerful
anticancer molecules that make it a key feature of
any diet designed to prevent the growth of cancer.
• Green tea undergo the least transformation of all
teas.
• Black tea (Red tea) – resembles that of green tea,
except that the roasting stage is carried out and thus
have very little anticancer activity.
• Japanese Green tea contains much more anticancer
activity know as EGCG than Chinese Green Tea.
• Brewing time matters too, and to maximize the
extraction of the anticancer compound, the infusion
time allowed should be at least 8 to 10 minutes.
Higher EGCG has better anti cancer compound
Berries
• Most berries are an exceptionally abundant source
of several classes of polyphenols that posses
anticancer potential: ellagic acid, anthocyanidins,
and proanthocyanidins.
• Eating cranberries should be preferred over drinking
cranberry juice.
Omega-3s
• Studies show that omega-3s reduce the incidence of
cardiovascular disease and in cancer prevention.
• Omega-3s acids are naturally extremely unstable and
it is preferable to use whole foods as source instead
of omerga-3s supplements (Drug).
• Eating fatty fish once or twice a week is one simple
way of increasing omerga-3 levels in your diet.
• Sardines, Salmon, linseed, soya, nuts are other
sources of Omega -3 fatty acids.
Trans-fats, one of the unknown fats that are unknown in nature and
that cause damage to cell. Look at the label behind the food
package, it usually indicates if there is any trans- fat.
Citrus Fruits
• Citrus fruits : Oranges, Grapefruit, Lemons, Mandarins
• Studies has suggested that phytochemical compounds
in citrus fruits block tumor growth by direct action on
the cancerous cells, restricting their ability to
reproduce.
• Citrus fruit consumption, whether in the form of whole
fruit or juice, supplies the body with an incomparable
source of specific anticancer molecules, while also
providing the necessary daily requirements of many
vitamins and minerals.
Red Wine
• Alcohol is a double-edged sword. Moderate intake
increases HDL ( good cholesterol ) in blood levels ( a
key factor in protection against cardiovascular
disease ( heart and blood vessel ) and decreases the
tendency of blood to form clots by inhibiting blood
platelet aggregation. Conversely, high doses of
alcohol causes considerable damage to cells
regardless if it is red or white wine.
• Polyphenons in particular Resveratrol ( anticancer
properties) are found primarily in the skins and
seeds of grapes and are extracted during the
fermentation process leading to red wine.
Dark Chocolate
• Dark chocolate contains important amounts of
polyphenols that are potentially capable of
exercising beneficial effects on some chronic
illness, including cancers and cardiovascular
disease ( heart and blood vessel).
• Milk chocolate contains less polyphenols
• Substitute dark chocolate for sugar-filled junk food
with no nutritional benefits.
Supplement ( Drugs)
• Eating whole food provides greater
benefits than taking supplements.
• There are no and there will no miracle
cures that are able to entirely repair the
damage caused by a poor diet. You
cannot eat just anything and then get
off the hook by taking a pill.
Myth
• Fruits and vegetables contain pesticide residues that
causes cancer. - False, the residue is present in
trace amounts and no study has ever established a
link between these residues and cancer.
• Only organic fruits and vegetables offer real health
benefits. - False, In fact it would be better to
consume many standard fruits and vegetables on a
daily basis than to only occasionally eat organic
foods.
Fighting Cancer Menu
• Quit smoking
• Lower red meat and calorie intake- avoid or reduce
industrially process foods i.e. chips, soft drinks,
crisps, hamburgers.
• Avoid barbecued meats. The greasy drippings that
fall and catch fire produce toxic substances know as
aromatic hydrocarbons.
• Exercise regularly
• Choosing to modify your diet in order to include
certain foods that are exceptional sources of
anticancer molecules represents one of the best
weapons currently at our disposal in the fight
against cancer.
Anti-Cancer Food
• Lightly cook, steam or stir-fry Cabbages,
Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussels sprouts or
Tomatoes.
• Habitually add Garlic or Onions to your cooking.
• Drink more Soya Bean Drink or Japanese Green
Tea or choose Red Wine than beer.
• When you buy your fruit, take Berries, Oranges,
Grapefruit, Lemons, Mandarin Oranges
conveniently.
• Add Sardines or Salmon to your dish.
• Choose Chocolate rather than sugar.
Preventing cancer growth
If you are keen to get more details, you may consider buying the book
After reading the book, I have a better understanding
about cancer. At least we are in control of our life,
so why put our life and our family at risk.
Just make an effort and take more anticancer food. Do
not make life difficult for ourselves, simple
adjustments to our lifestyle keeps the doctor away.
Take care

Garlic and Onions • Used for more than 2000 years before Christ, Garlic and Onions represent one of the best documented examples of the role of plants in the treatment of diseases and maintenance of good health. • The molecules found in garlic and onions are also capable of slowing down the propagation of tumors by interfering with the growth processes in cancer cells, leading to cell death by apoptosis. • Freshly crushed garlic is by far the best source of anticancer compounds and should be preferred over supplements (Drug).
  • 14. Soya • Soya Beans, Soya sauce, Tofu has Isoflavones, the anticancer compounds present in soya, possesses a chemical structure similar to that of sex hormones and may thus interfere with the development of cancers caused by high levels of these hormones in the bloodstream. • Soya plays an important role in the prevention of breast and prostate cancer. • Studies has shown that taking soya at an early age for woman decreases the incidence of breast cancer.
  • 15. Japanese Green Tea • Green tea is an exceptional source of powerful anticancer molecules that make it a key feature of any diet designed to prevent the growth of cancer. • Green tea undergo the least transformation of all teas. • Black tea (Red tea) – resembles that of green tea, except that the roasting stage is carried out and thus have very little anticancer activity. • Japanese Green tea contains much more anticancer activity know as EGCG than Chinese Green Tea. • Brewing time matters too, and to maximize the extraction of the anticancer compound, the infusion time allowed should be at least 8 to 10 minutes.
  • 16. Higher EGCG has better anti cancer compound
  • 17. Berries • Most berries are an exceptionally abundant source of several classes of polyphenols that posses anticancer potential: ellagic acid, anthocyanidins, and proanthocyanidins. • Eating cranberries should be preferred over drinking cranberry juice.
  • 18. Omega-3s • Studies show that omega-3s reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease and in cancer prevention. • Omega-3s acids are naturally extremely unstable and it is preferable to use whole foods as source instead of omerga-3s supplements (Drug). • Eating fatty fish once or twice a week is one simple way of increasing omerga-3 levels in your diet. • Sardines, Salmon, linseed, soya, nuts are other sources of Omega -3 fatty acids.
  • 19. Trans-fats, one of the unknown fats that are unknown in nature and that cause damage to cell. Look at the label behind the food package, it usually indicates if there is any trans- fat.
  • 20. Citrus Fruits • Citrus fruits : Oranges, Grapefruit, Lemons, Mandarins • Studies has suggested that phytochemical compounds in citrus fruits block tumor growth by direct action on the cancerous cells, restricting their ability to reproduce. • Citrus fruit consumption, whether in the form of whole fruit or juice, supplies the body with an incomparable source of specific anticancer molecules, while also providing the necessary daily requirements of many vitamins and minerals.
  • 21. Red Wine • Alcohol is a double-edged sword. Moderate intake increases HDL ( good cholesterol ) in blood levels ( a key factor in protection against cardiovascular disease ( heart and blood vessel ) and decreases the tendency of blood to form clots by inhibiting blood platelet aggregation. Conversely, high doses of alcohol causes considerable damage to cells regardless if it is red or white wine. • Polyphenons in particular Resveratrol ( anticancer properties) are found primarily in the skins and seeds of grapes and are extracted during the fermentation process leading to red wine.
  • 22. Dark Chocolate • Dark chocolate contains important amounts of polyphenols that are potentially capable of exercising beneficial effects on some chronic illness, including cancers and cardiovascular disease ( heart and blood vessel). • Milk chocolate contains less polyphenols • Substitute dark chocolate for sugar-filled junk food with no nutritional benefits.
  • 23. Supplement ( Drugs) • Eating whole food provides greater benefits than taking supplements. • There are no and there will no miracle cures that are able to entirely repair the damage caused by a poor diet. You cannot eat just anything and then get off the hook by taking a pill.
  • 24. Myth • Fruits and vegetables contain pesticide residues that causes cancer. - False, the residue is present in trace amounts and no study has ever established a link between these residues and cancer. • Only organic fruits and vegetables offer real health benefits. - False, In fact it would be better to consume many standard fruits and vegetables on a daily basis than to only occasionally eat organic foods.
  • 25. Fighting Cancer Menu • Quit smoking • Lower red meat and calorie intake- avoid or reduce industrially process foods i.e. chips, soft drinks, crisps, hamburgers. • Avoid barbecued meats. The greasy drippings that fall and catch fire produce toxic substances know as aromatic hydrocarbons. • Exercise regularly • Choosing to modify your diet in order to include certain foods that are exceptional sources of anticancer molecules represents one of the best weapons currently at our disposal in the fight against cancer.
  • 26. Anti-Cancer Food • Lightly cook, steam or stir-fry Cabbages, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussels sprouts or Tomatoes. • Habitually add Garlic or Onions to your cooking. • Drink more Soya Bean Drink or Japanese Green Tea or choose Red Wine than beer. • When you buy your fruit, take Berries, Oranges, Grapefruit, Lemons, Mandarin Oranges conveniently. • Add Sardines or Salmon to your dish. • Choose Chocolate rather than sugar.
  • 28. If you are keen to get more details, you may consider buying the book
  • 29. After reading the book, I have a better understanding about cancer. At least we are in control of our life, so why put our life and our family at risk. Just make an effort and take more anticancer food. Do not make life difficult for ourselves, simple adjustments to our lifestyle keeps the doctor away. Take care
